New rules mandate that telecommunications withstand at least four hours without electricity.
The Spanish government has implemented new regulations requiring telecommunications operators to keep their mobile networks operational during power outages. The measure aims to ensure public communication in crisis scenarios across the country.
Under the established rules, mobile networks must remain active for a minimum of four hours in the event of blackouts. This requirement seeks to prevent a total collapse of communications when the conventional power grid fails.
The mandate is part of a regulatory effort to increase the resilience of Spain's telecommunications infrastructure. With this measure, authorities aim to mitigate the impacts caused by unexpected power failures, ensuring that citizens continue to have access to essential mobile phone communication services.
To comply with the new directive, telecom operators will need to invest in backup power systems, such as generators and batteries, at their towers and distribution hubs. The deadline and details regarding penalties for non-compliance have not been specified.
